Vaughn Grissom answered Castro with a solo blast in the bottom of the frame, tying the game.

Tied at 3-3 into the 10th, the 'Pigs eked ahead as an error on a groundball allowed Johan Rojas to score from second for the go-ahead and ultimately winning run.

Nolan Hoffman (3-0) pitched a scoreless ninth and 10th innings to get the 'Pigs the win, striking out three while walking one and giving up just one hit.

Isaiah Campbell (6-6) took the loss for the WooSox, allowing just an unearned run on two hits and a walk in two innings, striking out four.
